A Gem of a Challenge ......................

Hi all, well December is speeding along just a little too quickly but I have nearly finished my Christmas shopping which is good!  

I have made a start on my December scrapbook album but I will share that another day, so I am making progress lol!

Anyway the challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge is 'Anything goes for Christmas' so I thought I would take the opportunity to make some Christmas tags. I really love making them, I must do more as I never have any when I need them!  I have used a super cute coloured image called Polo with Gift

from Pink Gem Designs.  There is a wonderful prize for the winner so I hope you will come along and join in the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Snowman Aperture Card .......

Hi everyone and happy Saturday to you. I'm sharing a card today that is one of the one's I made for Simply Homemade magazine.   I love this cute snowman from Three Sparkly Snowmen from Little Claire. So what are your plans for today?  I will be busy working on another commission for Simply Homemade magazine and then me and Grace will be going to town this afternoon to buy a Christmas jumper each.  I've never brought a Christmas jumper before but I have seen a lovely one in Tesco's with penguins on so I think that will be my purchase. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Birthday Selfies Layout

Hi all, I have a layout to share with you tonight that I made using my Like for Ever scrapbooking kit from last month as I finally found a little bit of time to cut into last month's kit!  The photos were a few silly pics of me and Grace messing about with my selfie stick on my Birthday.  Please don't think I'm sad for having a selfie stick but I have very short arms and selfies of me would scare people without the use of a selfie stick lol!  

I used a great sketch from Stuck Sketches November 1st. for my layout. 

I had a wonderful time shopping in York.  These are a few photos from my weekend:

This is the Shambles, my favourite street in York filled with little shops full of pretty things!

This is me and Mum with a friend we found lol!

And of course no shopping trip would be complete without a stop for coffee and cake! 

Thanks for stopping by.
